Bat Mitzvah Club

BMC brings girls together to talk about life and what's involved in becoming a Jewish woman - and we have a lot of fun while we're at it!

Our goal is to empower Jewish girls to grow up to become confident, smart and thoughtful women who understand there's more to a Bat Mitzvah than a party! Wether or not you're planning a ceremony or a party, BMC is open to Jewish girls of Grade 6-8 of all backgrounds!

Some things to know about BMC:

BMC meets twice a month. The first meeting is Motzei Shabbat, Saturday Jan 27th at 8pm at the home of Perla Zaltzman , 12 Wood Dale Dr. S. Catharines.

BMC has a few special events in addition to the meetings. For example we'll be having a Shabbat sleepover on Feb 23, and special Bat Mitzvah Trip to NYC April 19-22.

BMC membership is $180. It includes all supplies and learning materials and Shabbaton. NYC trip will have an additional nominal fee for the participants.

BMC will take place co-jointly with Chabad Niagara and Adas Israel Hamilton, giving the girls opportunities to meet even more Jewish girls! Meetings will take place alternatively in both locations.

BMC leaders are Chaya Lavin and Perla Zaltzman. Please feel free to reach out to us: Chayalavin@gmail.com or Perla@JewishNiagara.com.
